16 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

2

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving, by the policy control function device from a device associated with a data network, at least one Ethernet packet filter set, wherein the at least one Ethernet packet filter set comprises the at least one Ethernet MAC address.

3

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving, by the policy control function device from a device associated with a data network, at least one Ethernet packet filter set, wherein the at least one Ethernet packet filter set comprises an Ethertype.

6

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the receiving the at least one Ethernet MAC address comprises receiving the at least one Ethernet MAC address from a device associated with a data network.

8

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the policy control function device is selected by the session management function device based on the at least one Ethernet MAC address.

9

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the determining the at least one PCC rule comprises determining the at least one PCC rule based on at least one of: Ethernet packet filter set information or subscription information.

10

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the receiving the at least one Ethernet MAC address comprises receiving the at least one Ethernet MAC address from the session management function device.

11

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one Ethernet MAC address comprises an Ethernet source MAC address.

13

13. The policy control function device of claim 12, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further configure the policy control function device to receive, from a device associated with a data network, at least one Ethernet packet filter set, and wherein the at least one Ethernet packet filter set comprises the at least one Ethernet MAC address.

14

14. The policy control function device of claim 12, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further configure the policy control function device to receive, from a device associated with a data network, at least one Ethernet packet filter set, and wherein the at least one Ethernet packet filter set comprises an Ethertype.

17

17. The policy control function device of claim 12, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the policy control function device to receive the at least one Ethernet MAC address from a device associated with a data network.

19

19. The policy control function device of claim 12, wherein the policy control function device is selected by the session management function device based on the at least one Ethernet MAC address.

20

20. The policy control function device of claim 12, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the policy control function device to determine the at least one PCC rule based on at least one of: Ethernet packet filter set information or subscription information.

21

21. The policy control function device of claim 12, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the policy control function device to receive the at least one Ethernet MAC address from the session management function device.

22

22. The policy control function device of claim 12, wherein the at least one Ethernet MAC address comprises an Ethernet source MAC address.

24

24. The system of claim 23, further comprising a device associated with a data network, wherein the device associated with the data network is configured to send, to the policy control function device, at least one Ethernet packet filter set, and wherein the at least one Ethernet packet filter set comprises the at least one Ethernet MAC address.

25

25. The system of claim 23, further comprising a device associated with a data network, wherein the device associated with the data network is configured to send, to the policy control function device, at least one Ethernet packet filter set, and wherein the at least one Ethernet packet filter set comprises an Ethertype.
